Relocation Stays
Making Your Move to Austin Simpler and More Comfortable
Austin has been the fastest-growing major US city for the past decade and the relocation flow is correspondingly the most concentrated in our Texas portfolio. The dominant inbound is tech-sector: engineers, product staff and senior leadership moving to Apple's expanding Austin campus, Tesla Gigafactory Texas, Oracle's relocated headquarters, Google, Meta, Dell in Round Rock, and the wider cluster of smaller technology companies that have made Austin their primary US base. State-government and policy relocations add a smaller but steady flow. Each of these inbounds typically arrives with a family, has a clear school-zoning preference (Eanes ISD, Westlake / Lake Travis ISD, Round Rock ISD or Leander ISD depending on employer location), and needs a comfortable transition stay for two to six months while they navigate Austin's competitive permanent housing market.
Our Austin relocation stays are positioned specifically for this audience. Properties are sized for families (three to five bedrooms), located in the Austin neighbourhoods incoming families actually consider (Westlake, west Austin, Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Pemberton Heights, north Austin near the tech corridor, Round Rock, and the Lake Travis area for families prioritising those schools), and configured for the longer-stay tech-family use case: multiple high-speed Wi-Fi networks, dedicated workspace for two parents working remotely, family furniture and laundry. School-zoning advice for the major Austin-area districts is included on request, and we hold introductions to relocation-experienced real estate agents who specialise in tech-sector inbounds.

Proximity
Location and Proximity
Westlake and West Austin are among the most sought-after relocation areas for senior technology professionals and families, thanks to top-rated schools and established residential communities. Tarrytown, Pemberton Heights and Hyde Park offer central locations, mature neighbourhood character and easy access to Austin's academic and business hubs. North Austin and The Domain area are popular with guests relocating for roles at Apple, Oracle and IBM, while Round Rock attracts those seeking strong schools and proximity to Dell's headquarters. For families prioritising school quality and outdoor lifestyle, the Lake Travis area remains a highly desirable option.
FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How competitive is the permanent Austin housing market for families finishing a relocation stay?
A. Austin's permanent housing market remains competitive although less heated than 2021-2022. Families typically need eight to sixteen weeks from arrival to close on a permanent home, with the duration depending on school-zoning specificity, price range and willingness to compromise on neighbourhood. We design relocation stay lengths around this realistic timeline rather than the optimistic four-week timeline some employers initially budget for.
Q. Do you have inventory close to the Tesla Gigafactory for engineers relocating to that site?
A. Yes, we operate inventory specifically suited to Tesla Gigafactory relocators on the southeast side. Stays in this segment are typically engineers and project staff relocating with families for the duration of the production-ramp programme, often six to twelve months. Property options include single-family homes in nearby Manor and Bastrop and apartments in southeast Austin. School-zoning options for this segment are different than central Austin and we cover them at the strategy call.
Q. Can my company set up a corporate account for tech relocation stays?
A. Yes, this is one of our standard offerings. Technology companies relocating engineers or executives to Austin typically use corporate accounts with monthly invoicing, particularly through their relocation management partners. We have established corporate accounts with several Austin-area tech employers and relocation management firms. Setting up a new account takes about three business days.
Q. Are Westlake area properties really worth the premium over north Austin alternatives?
A. It depends on school priority. Westlake and the Eanes ISD area carry a premium because of the consistently top-rated school district and the established residential character. Families whose primary priority is school zoning often consider the premium worth it. Families whose primary priority is short commute to Apple or Oracle often prefer north Austin or The Domain area, where Round Rock ISD and Leander ISD also serve high-rated catchments at lower cost.
Q. Can you help with school zoning advice for the major Austin-area districts?
A. Yes. We provide an orientation overview of Eanes ISD, Westlake / Lake Travis ISD, Austin ISD, Round Rock ISD and Leander ISD, with general reputation and the zoning catchments for our specific relocation inventory. School zoning in Austin is property-specific and can change with district decisions, so we strongly recommend incoming families also work with a local real estate agent who specialises in tech-sector family relocations. We can make introductions to those agents.
